Chapter 63 It's Not Over
"I stayed up late last night and my phone was on mute. What's the matter? You didn't go to work but just wait for me at home?" While saying this, Li Mu became serious. Although he is a rich second-generation bornwith a silver spoon, he was not foppish.
If his father Li Sihai knocked off work, instead, waiting for him at home, certainly it was not a good sign.
"I'm waiting for you to talk to you face to face. I'm warning you now, you need to behave recently, and don't go to the Maple Leaf Hotel! Besides, I heard that you had a fight with that bloke from the Zhang family in the rough stone market in the western suburbs not long ago, didn't you?Can you just let me have nothing to worry about? The Zhang family has the power as long as that old guy is still breathing!" Li Sihai yelled.
He continued, "Take a look at the current situation of Jiangzhou, the current provincial secretary-general was Zhang Weimin's secretary back then, and he had helped the current Municipal Committee secretary in his career. Even the vice governor Mr. Lin was promoted by him back then!"
"If you have a big fight with Zhang Jingshan, it's okay if you are in the right, but if not, even your uncle and grandfather can't protect you! Now at this critical juncture, such an eventful time, you'd better keep as low profile as you can be. This will not only save me but also save your uncle and grandfather from being in trouble!" He got up from the sofa, and his face grew solemn while saying that.
In an instant, Li Mu started to think seriously, "Normally, my father would not talk about this, and I couldn't get along with Zhang Jingshan for a long time, which was well-known in Jiangzhou. If he regard this as a problem, he would have told me long ago. Otherwise, he wouldn't wait until now."
"Dad, is there anything wrong?" Li Mu stopped being carefree. Li Sihai hesitated for a while,and finally said, "I feel a little restless these days. The inspection team made a sudden re-examination without being conspicuous as before. There seems to be something fishy going on！
"Isn't the inspection team directed against the Maple Leaf Hotel? What does this have to do with us? Why are you so worried? But even if the Maple Leaf Hotel gets into trouble, we can disassociate ourselves from this hotel as soon as possible through crisis management!" Li Mu said.
Apparently Li Mu has no idea about the sordid business partnership between Li Sihai and Sun Tianqi, but anyway Li Sihai didn't think Li Mu should know about it. Though Li Mu didn't know, he was in a complicated mood. Because he knew that if it was a simple question, his father would not be so anxious like this.
"It's not that simple. I have told Sun Tianqi to stop the business in the Maple Leaf Hotel, but he disregarded my suggestion, and believed that the inspection team just went through the motions. They didn't find anything and left empty-handed last time, and this time it would just be the same. He got nothing to worry about! This bastard has been arrogant and didn't listen to any suggestions over the years. Since he didn't take it seriously, we just do what we need to do!"
Li Sihai shook his head, and signed deeply, "From now on, don't go to the Maple Leaf Hotel anymore. I'm starting to disassociate from Sun Tianqi and the Maple Leaf Hotel, otherwise, we will be dragged into this as long as the bastard Sun Tian qi still sticks to his guns. Sooner or later, something will happen, something big!" There was a bit of bitterness in his words.
Disassociate from them? Was it that easy? Would Sun Tianqi allow him to make it? All these were the problems Li Sihai had to deal with.
"What's between you and Sun Tianqi, between the Four Seas Group and the Maple Leaf Hotel are actually more than just cooperation as we see, right?" Li Mu noticed something was wrong, asking.
"You don't have to know about that. Just remember, keep a low profile and don't make trouble. Especially, never provoke Zhang Jingshan. Keep discreet, and you'd better be unknow in the whole Jiangzhou city!" Li Sihai made himself clear, and then he left the house in his bright leather shoes.
Li Mu, on the other hand, stayed where he was. After a long time, he took the phone out of his pajama pocket. "Young Master Li, we are on the way to finding Ye Chen now. Don't worry! I will get it done nicely, and he will never know that you are the wirepuller" As soon as Ye Chen answered the phone, the man on the other end of line sneered joyfully.
"Stop it, go back now!" Li Mu said. "What?" The man was stunned. "I said go back! Don't do this now!" Li Mu repeated. "But why? We are already on our way!" The man said. "Don't fucking ask me the question! I said go back and let him go for now!" Li Mu yelled angrily. "OK, OK, I'll let them stop!"
After hanging up the phone, Li Mu gritted his teeth hard, "Ye Chen, today is your lucky day, but we are not done yet!"
This was not over. Li Mu could bear that Zhang Jingshan attacked him or fooled him. After all, whether he deal with it or not, he wouldn't allow their conflicts to get out of control.But the bottom-level gambler Ye Chen, who did he think he was? He did make over 20 million dollars in the rough stone market with his luck, so what?
In his eyes, Ye Chen was only a useless loser who didn't know what to do with his life, but he cooperated with Zhang Jingshan to set him up and make fun of him. This was absolutely beyond his tolerance. Besides, if he messed things up with Ye Chen, it would be like a slap in Zhang Jingshan's face. He was looking forward to seeing how Zhang Jingshan would react to this.
However, with what Li Sihai just told him, he had to temporarily cancel the plan. Li Mu was the rich second generation, but he was not the domineering kind who only cared about the short-term plan. Otherwise, he would already be beaten by Zhang Jingshan.
...
Ye Chen came back home without knowing that he just avoided a fight. He turned on the TV when he was bored, and he switched a channel randomly with the remote. He folded his hands behind his head and closed his eyes.
People needed some quiet moment when they were doing some thinking. Unlike other people, Ye Chen had always liked to meditate inthe sound of TV shows.
He had this habit for decades in his last life. Even when it came to big decisions he had to make for the company in his late previous life, he would turn on the TV and think while the TV was on.
Later, it was well-known in the public, and the media reporters interviewed this tycoon and asked him about such a habit. His answer was very simple, "I got more inspired when there is an external sound interference." Now he had been reborn with this old habit.
He started to look for a way to make money shortly based on the memory of his last life. Although the flawless ointment was an important part of his business empire, now he was waiting for his right-hand man from the last life.
His right-hand man should still be the CEO of a cosmetics company in the name of removing scars. If Ye Chen remembered it correctly, he would leave the company in a week. He would keep gettingrebuffed with his crazy ideas in mind so that no one in the entire industry was going to work with him until he met Ye Chen a few years later. Ye Chen would embraced those crazy ideas with an open mind and he started to work for Ye Chen.
This was the reason why the flawless ointment popped up and swept the world. By comparison he accounted for 90% of the credit for developing the flawless ointment! However, even if he had a bigger contribution to the business than Ye Chen did, the guy never left him, even if someone offered an annual salary of 50 million dollars, he still stuck by his side. Even if someone offered 100 million dollars for the formula, he refused without the slightest hesitation. He wasn't swayed at all and said proudly, "My boss Ye Chen helped me in my career, which is priceless. I'm not greedy about getting so much money as I'm contented with enough money to spend."
In this life, Ye Chen won't wait for years to meet him. But it was still early to meet him, Ye Chen should wait at least until that man was fired and got rejected for several times. After getting rid of the thoughts about that guy and the flawless ointment, Ye Chen quickly filtered all kinds of information from his memory in his last life.
At the same time, Jiangzhou Sports Channel on TV was broadcasting the chat of several football commentators. "I heard, not sure if it's true, that Heng Da Group has already started the site selection for a specialized football stadium. It is said that Heng Da Group will spend 10 billion dollars, not only to build a football field but also a system with hotels, restaurants, shopping malls, supermarkets, etc., there may even be Heng Da living quarters. If it is true, then the fans will be thrilled, and Jiangzhou will have a new business card!"
Well, when those football commentators said this, Ye Chen, who was still searching for information in his memory, suddenly opened his eyes. In an instant, the memory of how the Hang Da Group did all these
was quickly pieced together in his mind.
